Getting organised - holidays are over!

As the winter school holidays draw to a close  I'm planning my next term of activities & jobs that need doing.

This term I'll be offering two one day workshops at Calico & Ivy Balmain and the focus will be on Zig Zag Quilts!

Thursday 18th August 10am - 2pm

Thursday 1st Sept 10am - 2pm

Give Calico & Ivy a call to book in.

I'll also be teaching a beginners quilting course at Hobby Sew Top Ryde thursday evenings and Friday mornings.

If your unable to get to any of the classes, I'm starting a Lone Star quilt along soonish. I have started a flickr group for people to join and expect to be up and running with info in the next week.

Did I mention I'm going to London, Paris & Rome in October this year? 

any major Quilting things/ places info would be much appreciated or if you have a shop that would like a workshop/ class give me a bell.

More on that trip later

Enough all-ready!

Mr Darcy's Zig Zag finished and Done :)

I've kinda overdone it with picturing this quilt! but this should be the last you see of Mr Darcy - finally with a back/Quilted and binding on.

I just love it soooo much. I love the actual zig zag and I love the loopy machine quilting, I even love the binding.

I have a habit of falling in love with each quilt I do - It's very hard to part with them

I made Mr Darcy double bed size - even though it's for a single bed, I like lot's of over hang.

So that's it for Mr Darcy.......
onto the next Quilt

It's raining again

Oh no it's raining again..........

So all you get is a indoor peak at the finished Mr Darcy's Zig Zag Quilt

I'm pretty happy with it, but need a bit of space to spread this double bed size baby out and snap some decent pics!

"The Pillow"

 Here we have the Pillow I made up from scraps left from Mr Darcy's Zig Zag Quilt, I hand quilted a few squares to add some interest - I'm really happy with the outcome. It's very comfy aswell, which is most important!
I have more than one child so there have been a few disputes already about who the pillow belongs to................... Looks like I'll be whipping up another three pillows :)

I've added it into the Bloggers Pillow Party being run by Stitched in Colour.
